Hi,
after upgrading to the latest VLC based on the OpenSUSE Repositories (VLC media player 2.2.0 Weatherwax (revision 2.2.0-0-g1349ef2)) I got stuck with the vlm web interface and with vlm in general.
I'm running vlc in background and using this config for the vlm:

Code: Select all

new stream1broadcast enabled
setup stream1 input "v4l2:///dev/video0:fps=4"
setup stream1 output #transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=200,fps=2,scale=Auto,acodec=none}:http{mux=ts,dst=:8080/stream1}
control stream1 play

This always worked well, but now if I start the vlc service same as before, then vlc crashes immediately.

If I don't read in the vlm configuration at the start of vlc, then vlc ist running , but when I try to open "localhost:8080/vlm.html", which also used to work without problems, I get only this:

Error loading /vlm.html

Code: Select all

lua/intf/http.lua:87: attempt to index a nil value
VideoLAN
Lua 5.1 Reference Manual

Are these known problems? Is there some way how to solve this?

many thanks for any ideas

regards

You need to gdb the first, to see what the issue is.

any ideas where to look? For me it's not clear if the problem is the lua script or anything else. Unfortunately I'm not really experienced with LUA

Hi,
any hints on how to get rid off this problem? My media server is down since 2 weeks
